He wanted a fresh start. Instead, he inherited a war.

When fifteen-year-old Griffin "Fin" Short moves from Australia to the United States with his mother, he expects culture shock, not catastrophe. Within days of arriving, his mother vanishes without a trace and Fin is left completely alone in a city that already feels hostile.

Then he finds the ring.

Ancient. Powerful. Alive with something he doesn't understand.

The ring unlocks abilities no normal teenager should possess. Strength. Speed. Power that bends the rules of reality itself. But power never goes unnoticed.

A ruthless crime empire known as the Dragons tightens its grip on the city. Their mysterious leader senses a threat. A dangerous high school rival wants control. And even the authorities begin circling.

Fin didn't ask to be part of this fight but he might be the only one who can change the balance.

With the help of Mary -- a brilliant new friend -- and her scientist father, Fin begins to unravel the truth behind the ring, the city's hidden underworld, and the secrets surrounding his mother's disappearance.

As alliances shift and enemies close in, Fin must decide who he is willing to become.

Because in a world where power rules everything... being ordinary is no longer an option.
